Once you learn how to grill vegetables in foil you'll be making them all the time! This is such a simple recipe!

🏕️ Camping instructions

Firey Campfire Vegetables! This is the best side dish when you're camping! This summer veggie foil packets recipe can be prepared up to a day in advance. When you are ready for dinner, place the sealed packet on the hot coals, flipping occasionally.

You can also use a grill basket over the coals or a grill pan. How delicious would that be?

🧑‍🍳 Foil packets in oven

No grill? No problem! Vegetables foil packets can be made in the oven as well.

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Prepare the grill packet as directed.
  • Place packets on baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

🙋‍♀️ FAQ's

Can you use different types of vegetables?

Absolutely, be creative! Tomatoes, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, really whatever is in season.

You can also use different seasonings - herbs or spices are great to flavor the packet! Chili power, asian seasoning, fresh basil, curry powder - yum, so many possibilities!

How do you steam vegetables in aluminum foil?

In this case, the liquid from the salad dressing takes the place of water and helps steam and flavor the veggies!

Can you use aluminum foil to roast vegetables?

Of course! Heavy duty aluminum foil is best. If you have a light foil, double the thickness so the vegetables on the bottom don't get burnt.

Foil - shiny or dull side - does it matter?

I arrange so the shiny side is in, facing the food. I don't know that it makes a huge difference, but my thoughts are the shiny reflects heat. Hey... it's a theory anyway!

Can I use parchment paper?

Sure, you can! I use foil because I'm lazy and don't want to the fancy folds required when you use parchment. It's a great substitution if you don't have foil handy.

👍 Things to know

There are simple ways to make your favorite veggies taste better.

  • You can add additional salt and black pepper, but the Montreal grill seasoning used this recipe contains both. If you use a store-bought seasoning, taste prior to serving and adjust seasonings.
  • Olive oil - anytime you add a little fat it equates to flavor. The salad dressing in this recipe adds seasoning and flavor!
  • Roasting, sautéing or pan frying vegetables will give them the most flavor. Finishing with a squeeze of lemon or lime will help brighten the flavors.
  • Frequent the Farmers Market if you have one available. The best vegetables are fresh and often organically grown. Using good quality vegetables will result in the best flavor!

Variations

The great part about fresh vegetables foil packets is you can use any type of vegetables you prefer. In addition to the items in the recipe, mix it up by adding:

  • sliced green, yellow bell pepper or red bell pepper
  • mushrooms
  • baby carrots
  • baby tomatoes
  • eggplant
  • asparagus
  • red onion
  • substitute the grill seasoning for Italian seasoning - yum!

Just remember potatoes take the longest to cook, you'll want to make sure they are tender before removing the veggie foil packs from the grill.

A squeeze of fresh lemon juice or drizzle of balsamic vinegar and minced fresh herbs like parsley, fresh thyme, dill or basil at the end will really bright the flavors of this side dish.

Want an easy idea for dinner? Add marinated chicken breast, thighs or chicken sausage to the packets and you'll have a complete foil packet dinner!

    We made these for a camping trip this past weekend and even Connor ate the veggies in them that he normally doesn't eat! Anything that gets Connor to eat more veggies is top in my book!
